Papilio lucretia Cramer, 1775, Pap. Exot., I, p. 71, PI. xlv, figs. C, D. 



Pseudacrcea lucretia Aurivillius, 1912, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 197, PI. XLVia. 



Represented by fifty-four specimens, nineteen of which are not 

 expanded. The specimens were mainly taken at Medje, though about 

 half a dozen bear other scattering locality labels. The dates of capture 

 range from May into September. 



The typical form is well represented, but the majority of the speci- 

 mens belong to the sHght variety named Pseudacrcea protracta by Butler 

 in which the light discal area of the hind wing is yellowish instead of 

 pure white as in the typical form. But there are intergrades and it is 

 hard to say in the series where one form begins and the other ends.
